В работе представлены результаты исследования морфологии углеродных наночастиц, образующихся при жидкофазном расслоении терморасширенного графита в трет-бутаноле. Используемый в работе терморасширенный графит получен путем термического расширения соинтеркалата нитрата графита с уксусной и муравьиной кислотами в режиме термоудара при 500°С и 900 °С. Исходный соинтеркалант по данным рентгенофазового анализа представляет собой смесь соединений II-й и IV-й стадий интеркалирования. Методом просвечивающей электронной микроскопии установлено, что дисперсии углеродных наночастиц, образующиеся при расслоении терморасширенного графита в трет-бутаноле под действием ультразвука, содержат в основном малослойные графены, планарные размеры которых достигают 8 мкм. Обсуждается влияние условий получения терморасширенного графита на морфологию образующихся углеродных наночастиц. Дисперсии на основе терморасширенного графита, полученного при более низкой температуре, помимо малослойных графенов содержат также значительное количество аморфных углеродных частиц с планарными размерами до 100 нм. The paper presents the investigation results of the morphology of carbon nanoparticles formed during liquid-phase exfoliation of thermally expanded graphite in tert-butanol. The thermally expanded graphite used in this work was obtained by thermal expansion of graphite nitrate with acetic and formic acids in the thermal shock mode at 500 °C and 900 °C. Initial cointercalate was shown by powder X-ray diffraction analysis to be the mixture of the II and the IV stage intercalation compounds. It has been established by transmission electron microscopy that dispersions of carbon nanoparticles formed during the exfoliation of thermally expanded graphite in tert-butanol via sonication contain mainly few-layer graphenes, the planar dimensions of which reach 8 pm. The influence of the conditions for thermally expanded graphite obtaining on the morphology of resulting carbon nanoparticles is discussed. Dispersions based on thermally expanded graphite obtained at a lower temperature, in addition to few-layer graphenes, also contain a significant amount of amorphous carbon particles with planar sizes up to 100 nm.

M2052 alloys with various aging treatments are obtained in order to investigate the relationship between aging treatment and damping capacity by the torsion pendulum, X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) methods. The results show that M2052 can obtain high damping capacity (δ>0.2) when aged at a range from 400°C to 450°C, and the damping capacity after aged at a lower temperature is higher than that aged at a higher temperature for the maximum values. TEM and XRD results show that fcc-fct transformation occurs after aging treatment. The volumes of fct structures are one of reason to affect the damping capacity in M2052 alloy. The better understanding aging treatment could promote the applications of M2052 alloy.

Four VPO catalysts were synthesized through intercalation and exfoliation in various alcohols and subsequent reduction of the exfoliated VOPO4sheets with various alcohols to produce VOHPO4⋅0.5H2O. The resulting VOHPO4⋅0.5H2O that undergoes the intercalation-exfoliation-reduction (IER) process will be further activated into VPO catalysts, and addition of 1 mole % Bi(NO3)3⋅5H2O in the first stage of this experiment has also being investigated. The synthesized materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), and temperature-programmed reduction (TPR) in H2. Catalytic evaluation of the IER-treated and Bi-doped VPO catalysts was also studied on microreactor. The VPO catalyst produced through IER using 2-butanol and ethanol with addition of Bi, IERC(2Bu-Et)RBi1, gave the highest MA selectivity due to reactive O2−species released from the additional crystalline V5+phase formed by doping 1% bismuth as promoter (O2−-V5+pair) at relative lower temperature. Nevertheless, the VPO catalyst produced through IER using isobutanol, IERC(isoBu), gave the highest activity due to high amount of reactive O−species released from V4+phase (O−-V4+pair) whereby the IERC(isoBu) catalyst synthesized consists of high percentage of V4+(93 %).

AbstractA simple oxidation synthesis route was developed for producing magnetite nanoparticles with controlled size and morphology. Investigation of oxidation process of the produced magnetite nanoparticles (NP) was performed after synthesis under different temperatures. The phase transformation of synthetic magnetite nanoparticles into maghemite and, henceforth, to hematite nanoparticles at different temperatures under dry oxidation has been studied. The natural magnetite particles were directly transformed to hematite particles at comparatively lower temperature, thus, maghemite phase was bypassed. The phase structures, morphologies and particle sizes of the produced magnetic nanoparticles have been investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDX) and BET surface area analysis.

Expanded graphite (EG) was ball-milled in a high-energy mill (planetary-type) under an air atmosphere. The products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The anti-friction effect of milled EG used as lubricating additive was investigated. After ball-milling, the relatively ordered graphene planes of original EG become deformed, and the d002 spacing becomes broadened. The milled EG used as lubricating additive have an anti-friction effect, and the effect is more marked than that of original EG.

AbstractThe facile synthesis of three-dimensional macroporous arrays of titania, zirconia and alumina was recently reported [1]. The synthesis of these materials has now been extended to the oxides of iron, tungsten, and antimony, as well as a mixed yttrium-zirconium system and organically modi- fied silicates. These materials were characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), selected area electron diffraction (SAED), X-ray energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS), and powder X-ray diffraction (XRD). Ordered structures of iron, tungsten, and antimony were formed from alkoxide precursors as in the originally reported synthesis, but the template was removed at a lower temperature. Samples of vinyl- and 2-cyanoethyl-modified silicates were formed from a mixture of organotrialkoxysilane and tetraalkoxysilane precursors; the polystyrene template was removed by extraction with a THF/acetone mixture. These results show the ease of extending the original syn- thesis to a wide range of systems. Also, the ability to form homogenous mixed-metal oxides will be important for tailoring the dielectric and photonic properties of these materials.

Cu-Se compound powders are synthesized by hydrothermal co-reduction from CuSO4•5H2O and SeO2 in deionized water at 120~200 °C. The phases and morphology of the products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) respectively. Experimental results show that, the CuSe phase can be synthesized at 120,150,180 and 200 °C, however, the purity phases become more with the temperature decreasing. It indicates that the reaction is more incomplete at lower temperature. Hexagonal flakes with side length 100~400 nm can be observed in the products at 150,180 and 200 °C, among which only the product prepared at 180 °C has the hexagonal flakes with good dispersity and homogeneous size with 200 nm length.

A mixture of expanded graphite (EG) and iron powders was ball-milled in a high-energy mill. The milled EG/Fe powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The tribological behavior of the milled powders used as lubricating additive was investigated by using a tribo-tester. The results show that the milled powders used as lubricating additive have an obvious anti-friction effect, and the more large the applied temperature, the more marked the anti-friction effect.

The technologies of synthesizing Ni-S powders from 0.001 mol NiCl2•6H2O and 0.001 mol sulfur (S) powder were investigated at 95,105,120,140 and 160 °C. The phases and morphology of the products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) respectively. Experimental results show that, the Ni-S powders prepared at 120~160 °C from NiCl2•6H2O and S powder have the same major phase NiS. These products have flakes or unregular shape grains with sizes of 100~200nm. However, the product powder prepared at 105 °C has the major phase Ni3S2 without obvious impurity phases and only grains with size less than 200nm. No Nickel sulfides can be synthesized at 95 °C under the experimental conditions. It can be found that the NiS phase appears in the products powders obtained at higher temperatures while Ni3S2 obtained at lower temperature.
